"The second quarter of the year showed positive momentum across most business areas, and today we present a half-year profit of DKK 190m before tax, which is better than originally expected and 8% higher than the same period of 2024. The positive performance was backed by an increase in deposits, lending and the provision of mortgage loans. In addition to the progress in our core business, the results were supported by solid insurance performance as well as extraordinary income from our ownership interests in sector companies and from the sale of a branch property.
Costs were lower than estimated, and impairment charges were also lower than originally expected, reflecting the generally healthy credit quality of the customer portfolio. Our expectations for the second half of the year remain positive; however, they are subject to uncertainties related to interest rate developments as well as potential negative economic impacts from geopolitical unrest and an intensifying trade war," said Føroya Banki CEO Turið F. Arge.

Income statement
The following comments are generally stated relative to Q1 2025. Due to seasonal variations, comments provided on the insurance segment relate to Q2 2024.
Operating income
The Føroya Banki Group generated operating income of DKK 154m in Q2 2025, representing a quarter-on-quarter increase of DKK 29m. The increase was driven almost equally by net interest income, net insurance income and other operating income.
Net interest income
Net interest income was DKK 84m in Q2 2025, an increase of DKK 8m compared to Q1 2025, driven mainly by a sizeable increase in lending and lower funding costs.
Net fee and commission income
Net fee and commission income amounted to DKK 19m in Q2 2025, DKK 1m lower than in Q1 2025.
Net insurance income
Net insurance income was DKK 27m in Q2 2025, DKK 12m higher than in Q2 2024. The increase was driven both by slightly higher premium income and significantly lower claims in Q2 2025 compared to the year-earlier period.
Other operating income
Other operating income was DKK 24m in Q2 2025, up DKK 11m on the previous quarter. The significant increase was mainly due to one-off factors including the sale of the Bank's IT-platform provider SDC, changes in the valuation of the Bank's sector shares and the sale of one of the Bank's domicile properties.
Operating costs
Operating costs amounted to DKK 68m in Q2 2025, DKK 1m lower than in Q1 2025, reflecting the Bank's
ongoing focus on the area.
Profit before impairment charges
Profit before impairment charges was DKK 86m in Q2 2025 compared to DKK 56m in Q1 2025.
Impairment charges
Net impairment amounted to a charge of DKK 2m in Q2 2025 compared to impairment charges of DKK 5m in Q1 2025. The Bank remains of the opinion that the credit quality of its overall portfolio is strong and strengthening. The management provision taken in relation to the ongoing economic uncertainty as well as uncertainty in relation to the Bank's impairment calculation and modelling was maintained at DKK 101.5m in Q2 2025.
Operating profit
The resulting operating profit was DKK 84m in Q2 2025, an increase of DKK 34m from the DKK 51m seen in Q1 2025.
Investment portfolio earnings
Investment portfolio earnings amounted to DKK 30m in Q2 2025, which was DKK 5m higher than in Q1 2025. The increase was due to higher returns on the Bank's bond holdings and recognised results from an associated company, which offset lower central bank interest rates.
Profit before tax
Profit before tax in Q2 2025 was DKK 115m, a 51% increase on the preceding quarter, which saw pre-tax profit of DKK 76m.
Profit before tax for the first half of the year totalled DKK 190m, which is a sizeable increase over the pre-tax profit of DKK 175m seen same period in 2024.
The Bank is pleased with both the increased operating income as well as stable operating costs in the first half of 2025 compared to H1 2024. The fall in net interest income in H1 2025 due to falling interest rates are more than outweighed by rising income in insurance, other operating income as well as lower impairments.
Balance sheetFøroya Banki Group's total assets at 30 June 2025 amounted to DKK 14.6bn, up DKK 0.1bn compared to 31 December 2024. Loans and advances were DKK 9.7bn, DKK 608m higher than at 31 December 2024. Deposits were DKK 10.4bn, up DKK 379m compared to 31 December 2024. Liquidity invested in Danish mortgage bonds and Danish government bonds amounted to DKK 1.5bn, a decrease of DKK 261m compared to 31 December 2024. Shareholders' equity at 30 June 2025 amounted to DKK 1,881m, down DKK 195m, net compared to 31 December 2024 due to dividend payments in the amount of DKK 350m.
Capital and liquidityAt 30 June 2025, the Group's CET1 capital ratio was 22.7%, the Tier 1 capital ratio was 22.7% and the Total capital ratio was 24.0%. The Total capital ratio, incl. MREL capital, was 35.9%. The net profit for H1 2025, amounting to DKK 154.0m, is not included in the calculation of the capital ratios. Including the net profit mentioned the CET1 capital ratio would be 24,7%, the Total capital ratio would be 26.0% and the Total capital ratio, incl. MREL capital, would be 38.0%.
Regarding the capital and solvency calculation, the Bank notes the contingent liability of up to approximately DKK 25m, as detailed in note 13. The contingent liability concerns a dispute with the Danish tax authorities regarding the determination of the taxable gain on the sale of the Bank's Danish operations in 2021.
The Bank notes that CRR3 will take effect for the Bank on 1 January 2026. The overall effect on REA is not expected to be significant, with a slight fall in REA estimated based on the Bank's current asset composition. Risk-weighted items related to credit risk are expected to fall slightly due to the Bank's large portfolio of low-LTV home loans. Risk-weighted items related to operational risk are expected to be largely unchanged, and risk-weighted items related to market risk are expected to be unchanged due to the postponed implementation of the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB).
The Group's liquidity indicator was 254.6% on 30 June 2025, well above the requirement of 100%. The Group's LCR at 30 June 2025 was 259.7%, also well above the requirement of 100%. The Group's Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) was 158.3% at 30 June 2025, well above the requirement of 100%.

financial position.
Guidance for 2025The Group announced its guidance for 2025 on 28 January when guidance for the year was for net profit in the DKK 210-240m range, return on equity between 10.4% and 11.9% and impairment charges at 0.30 pp of loans.
On 15 July 2025, the Group raised its outlook for net profit to be in the DKK 235-265m range. The upwards revision reflects the strong insurance results, growth in business activity, robust credit quality of the loan portfolio as well as the above-mentioned one-off income.
The guidance is subject to uncertainty, including uncertainty related to changes in interest rates, impairment charges on loans and advances, market value adjustments and macroeconomic developments in the markets in which the Group operates.

The Personal Banking segment reported operating income of DKK 72m in Q2 2025, DKK 11m higher than in Q1 2025. Net interest income was DKK 41m in Q2 2025, an increase of DKK 4m compared to the previous quarter primarily due to lower funding costs and interest on deposits. Net fee and commission income was flat at DKK 18m in Q2 2025. Other operating income amounted to DKK 13m in Q2 2025, more than double the amount seen in Q1 due to one-off income from the sale of a domicile property and the Bank's IT-platform provider SDC as well one-off income from the Bank's ownership of sector companies.
Operating costs were DKK 51m in Q2 2025, a decrease of DKK 1m relative to Q1 2025. Impairment charges amounted to a reversal of DKK 1m in Q2 2025 compared to impairments of DKK 3m in Q1 2025. The Bank remains of the opinion that customers in the personal banking segment continue to be robust. Declining market rates and rising real income levels are expected to continue to strengthen customers' resilience further. The resulting operating profit for Q2 2025 was DKK 23m, an increase of DKK 16m over the previous quarter.
Investment portfolio earnings posted to the Personal Banking segment amounted to DKK 15m in the second quarter of 2025 compared to DKK 13m in Q1 2025.
Profit before tax thus amounted to DKK 38m in Q2 2025, a significant increase on the DKK 20m reported in Q1 2025.
Profit before tax for H1 2025 was DKK 58m, which is DKK 12m lower than during the same period in 2024. The difference is mainly due to lower net interest income and slightly higher impairment charges in 2025 to date. However, the Bank is satisfied with the noticeable improvement seen in core operations in the Personal Banking segment in the second quarter of 2025.
Loans and advances to personal customers increased by DKK 69m to DKK 4,487m at the end of Q2 2025, while brokered mortgage credit increased DKK 11m to DKK 2,181m, both compared to 31 March 2025. Deposits held by personal customers increased by DKK 215m during the quarter to DKK 6,720m on 30 June 2025.

Corporate Banking activities generated operating income of DKK 57m in Q2 2025, up 15% on the previous quarter. Net interest income increased by DKK 4m to DKK 43m, driven by a sizeable increase in lending volumes. Net fee and commission income was flat at DKK 6m, while other operating income doubled from DKK 4m in Q1 2025 to DKK 8m in Q2 2025 due to one-off income from the sale of a domicile property and the Bank's IT-platform provider SDC as well one-off income from the Bank's ownership of sector companies.
Operating costs were flat at DKK 11m in Q2 2025 compared to Q1 2025. Net impairment charges in Q2 2025 were DKK 3m compared to DKK 2m in Q1 2025. The Bank remains of the view that its corporate client base continues to show solid creditworthiness. Declining market rates are set to strengthen customers' creditworthiness further.
Operating profit for the second quarter of 2025 amounted to DKK 43m, an increase of DKK 7m relative to Q1 2025.
Investment portfolio earnings posted to the Corporate Banking segment in Q2 2025 totalled DKK 13m, DKK 1m higher than in the preceding quarter.
The resulting profit before tax for Q2 2025 was DKK 56m compared to DKK 47m in Q1 2025.
Profit before tax for the first half of 2025 totalled DKK 104m compared to DKK 90m in the first half of 2024. The main reason for the difference is that impairment charges have been lower so far in 2025 than in the first half of 2024. The Bank is also satisfied that core operations have improved despite falling interest margins.
Corporate loans and advances rose by DKK 355m in Q2 2025 to DKK 5,210m at 30 June 2025. Customer deposits fell by DKK 115m during Q2 2025 to DKK 3,687m. Brokered mortgage credit fell by DKK 8m to DKK 728m at 30 June 2025 compared to 31 March 2025.

Trygd reported premium income of DKK 42m in Q2 2025, DKK 2m higher than in Q2 2024. In Q2 2025, claims were DKK 20m, DKK 9m lower than in Q2 2024. Net income from investment activities amounted to DKK 2m in Q2 2025, the same level seen in Q2 2024. As a result, operating income was DKK 23m in Q2 2025, DKK 10m higher than in Q2 2024.
Operating costs were DKK 7m in Q2 2025, DKK 1m lower than in the second quarter of 2024. As a result, Trygd reported a profit before tax for Q2 2025 of DKK 17m compared to a more modest DKK 5m in Q2 2024.
Profit before tax for H1 2025 was DKK 23m, almost trebling the profit before tax of DKK 8m reported in H1 2024.
Trygd continues to consolidate its market position as a provider of non-life insurance in the Faroe Islands. An increased market share, focus on pricing structure as well as general market growth related to developments in the Faroese economy have driven an increase in premiums. As operating costs remain low, these developments contribute to margin improvements.
Trygd's claims vary significantly from one period to the next due to the limited size of the Faroese insurance
market as well the timing and severity of weather events, which adds volatility to the financial results.

The Føroya Banki Group holds a license to operate as a bank and is therefore subject to a capital requirement under the Faroese Financial Business Act and to CRR. The Faroese provisions on capital requirements apply to both the Parent Company and the Group. The capital requirement provisions stipulate a minimum capital of 8% of the identified risks. A detailed body of rules determines the calculation of capital as w ell as risks (risk-w eighted items). The capital comprises CET 1 capital, hybrid core capital and subordinated loan capital. The CET 1 capital corresponds to the carrying amount of equity, after deductions of holdings of ow n shares, tax assets and other minor deductions.

Note 1 Significant accounting policies
The consolidated financial statements for the first six months of 2025 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" supplemented by additional Faroese disclosure requirements for quarterly reports of listed financial companies and in accordance with the financial reporting requirements of the Nasdaq exchange in Copenhagen. The financial statements of the Parent Company, P/F Føroya Banki, have been prepared in accordance with the Faroese Financial Business Act and with the executive order on financial reports of credit institutions etc. of the Danish FSA as applied in the Faroe Islands.
The application of IAS 34 means that the disclosure of figures is less detailed than the disclosure in a full annual report and that the valuation principles laid down by the international financial reporting standards (IFRS) are applied.
The Group's significant accounting policies are consistent with those applied in the Annual Report 2024. The Annual Report 2024 provides a full description of the Group's significant accounting policies.
Future financial reporting standards and interpretations
The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has issued a number of new accounting standards (IAS and IFRS) and interpretations (IFRIC) that have not yet entered into force. Please refer to the Annual Report 2024 for further information.
Accounting estimates
The measurement of certain assets and liabilities requires management to estimate how future events will impact on the value of such assets and liabilities. Estimates of significance to the financial reporting are made in connection with determining the impairment of loans and advances, the fair value of unlisted financial instruments, provisions, business acquisitions etc. Estimates are based on assumptions that management considers appropriate, but which are inherently uncertain.
The most significant estimates that management makes in applying the Group's accounting policies and the most important uncertainty affecting estimates made when preparing the condensed interim report are unchanged from the estimates made in connection with the preparation of the Annual Report 2024 and the uncertainties prevailing at that time.
Determination of fair value
The fair value of financial assets is measured based on quoted market prices of financial instruments traded in active markets. If an active market exists, fair value is based on the most recently observed market price at the balance sheet date.
If a financial instrument is quoted in a market that is not active, the Group bases its measurement on the most recent transaction price. Adjustment is made for subsequent changes in market conditions, for instance by including transactions in similar financial instruments that are assumed to be motivated by normal business considerations.
If no active market for standard and simple financial instruments, such as interest rate and currency swaps and unlisted bonds, exists, generally accepted valuation techniques rely on market-based parameters for measuring fair value. The results of calculations made based on valuation techniques are often estimates because exact values cannot be determined from market observations. Consequently, additional parameters, such as liquidity risk and counterparty risk, are sometimes used for measuring fair value.
